Demands for Transparency Rise in Fatal Police Shooting of Alabama Teen Jabari Peoples

The family of Jabari Peoples, a student fatally shot by an Alabama police officer, is calling for answers and transparency regarding his death. An independent autopsy revealed that Peoples was shot in the back, raising more questions and prompting civil rights attorney Ben Crump to get involved. Protests have erupted in Homewood, where community members demand the release of body camera footage of the incident, which the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency has so far refused to disclose. As the family prepares for his funeral, they are joined by supporters advocating for justice and reform in response to the shooting, while city officials face potential economic boycotts due to their handling of the situation.
